No roadside inspections in the last 24 months — so there's no out-of-service rate to compare. Smaller fleets are inspected less often; a clean window like this is a neutral signal, not a warning.

4 revocation(s), most recent 6-12 months ago

5/25
SafetyBonus points for a demonstrably clean record: enough recent inspections with below-average out-of-service rates and no crashes. Never subtracts — thin data simply earns no bonus.

Safety record on file; no bonus criteria met yet. Remaining bonus would need: more vehicle inspections on record; more driver inspections on record; a crash-free 24 months; an official FMCSA Satisfactory rating (most carriers are never rated).
